“Does our vision of social justice take any group-identity more seriously than our identities “in Adam” and “in Christ”? Does it buy into divisive propaganda? Does it replace love, peace, and patience with suspicion, division, and rage?”

“Black lives matter. It’s true. From a Christian worldview perspective, we can plumb even deeper than a three-word catchphrase or hashtag. Black lives don’t merely matter; every black life was fearfully and wonderfully made by God himself. Every black life bears the divine image. Black lives are worth enough for the Creator to take on flesh and endure torture, execution, and infinite wrath.”

“Parents should also question much of the contemporary emphasis on special materials and equipment for learning in a child’s environment. A clutter of toys can be more confusing than satisfying to a child. On the other hand, natural situations, with opportunities to explore, seldom overstimulate or trouble a small child. Furthermore, most children will find greater satisfaction and demonstrate greater learning from things they make and do with their parents or other people than from elaborate toys or learning materials. And there is no substitute for solitude—in the sandpile, mud puddle, or play area—for a young child to work out his own fantasies. Yet this privilege is often denied in our anxiety to institutionalize children.”

“Expect your boys to like weapons. It’s true. You can take all their weapons away, and they will make a gun out of a piece of toast.”
